Supportive families and close friendships are also prominently featured in both series.
"I'm in Love with the Older Girl Next Door" is a great light-hearted story with a lot of comedic elements, whereas "A Cup of Coffee" is more mature and deliberate, notable for its hopeful message and amazing storytelling.

Both are episodic medical manga featuring genius surgeons who operate outside normal ethics, but with very different tones.
Black Jack is a classic: emotional and thought-provoking, with a mysterious doctor saving lives in impossible ways. It touches on moral dilemmas.
Franken Fran takes that same concept and pushes it into horror and dark comedy. Fran grants people’s wishes through surgery… often too literally, with grotesque or ironic results. It’s twisted and fascinating.
Read Black Jack for depth and soul; read Franken Fran if you're ready for the same idea turned into a nightmare... in the best possible way!
Manga rec by BorderlineCaseA4 - Jul 9, 2025
I recently came across this brand new series on social media and my first thought was “oh, so it’s like Shikimori-San?”- read the first, and so far only, chapter to easily confirm- Yeah, it is.
A cool, strong girl and a blushing boy who wants to be cool but instead gets bridal-carried by the not-just-cute girl. Very reverse trope boy and girl power couple. They’re not identical(Shikimori is set in a modern high school, Belle Pouppée has isekai vibes ect) but if you like one, there’s a fair chance you’ll like the other!

Devilman

Both X by CLAMP and Devilman by Go Nagai have stunning, often overwhelming artwork, with splash pages that really show what manga art can achieve. Their use of the fantasy and supernatural genres serves more as a canvas for visual experimentation than a platform for tight and logical worldbuilding, which is an intentional and understandable creative choice.
Narratively, they aren't always focused on cohesion. Certain developments can feel abrupt or inconsistent. What these works lack in narrative precision, they make up for with emotional intensity and visual impact. Even today, few manga rival their stylistic boldness. They're not perfect stories, but they are unforgettable experiences.

Both are heavily concentrated on the past with the unusual ways to reminiscent memories. There is a bunch of characters but their connection to each other is rather weak making the stories almost episodic.

If you're reading this, then you probably already know A Bride's Story and have come across Blissful Land as a recommendation.
I absolutely suggest reading Blissful Land. It feels spiritually and stylistically inspired by A Bride's Story. The setting is the same (Central Asia), though this time we're in Tibet. The plot is also similar: it's a bride's story (pun intended), with a young woman arriving from another country and learning the customs of her new home. It's heartwarming and satisfying to see the couple working together toward a common goal. The pacing is slow and contemplative, focusing on everyday moments and the quiet growth of the relationship.
The attention to detail is impressive... not quite on the same level as A Bride's Story, but that’s understandable, as I've never seen anything as detailed. There’s also a great amount of research behind it, especially when it comes to medicinal herbs and dyes for clothing. You can feel the author's passion and love for the characters in the way they’re drawn and how they interact with each other.
Reading it felt like experiencing A Bride's Story for the first time all over again. Truly a blissful manga.

Both series revolve around couples from opposing sides—emotionally, socially, or literally—who fall deeply in love but must overcome obstacles, pride, and personal growth before they can fully be together.
What makes these two stories resonate on a deeper level isn't just their comedy or romance—it's the emotional tension, the build-up, and the rewarding payoff of watching characters slowly evolve, struggle with vulnerability, and take bold steps toward love.
Similarities:
Enemies-to-lovers dynamic with strong emotional stakes
Both MCs are intelligent, passionate, and stubborn, making every interaction charged with tension
A focus on big romantic moments and gestures, not just daily fluff
A perfect blend of romance, comedy, and emotional growth
The relationship doesn't end at the confession—it deepens afterward
"We shouldn’t be together... but I still want you." core emotion
Similarities:
- high school romance, story mostly focused on the main characters.
- popular female main character that feel herself isolated and uncomfortable on how other students see her.
- then come male main character who help her just for the sake of helping without any other thoughts.
- both main characters are kind and sweet person.
- male main character start their friendship by keep distance to her so other students don't bother her.
- start slow burn but become bold the more story progressing (the romantic progress a little bit fast on this one tho).
- both main characters living alone without their parents.

The MC leads in both manga struggle with emotional clarity and maturity.
(Rent-A-Girlfriend MC) is known for his indecisiveness and fragile ego.
(Someone’s Girlfriend MC) features similarly flawed characters who act on impulse or selfish desires.
Watching these characters fumble through their emotions gives a kind of raw, relatable, yet frustrating emotional ride.
Reading both You might experience different kind of emotions until you reach the end and you don’t know what emotion you’ll give in each chapters. (Would be a roller coaster ride of emotions)
So give these 2 manga a read it gives balance between heartbreak, tension, and introspection but it’s not for the faint of heart.

Both manga center around psychological mind games. Each protagonist has to outsmart someone extremely dangerous, knowing a single slip could be fatal. The tension comes not from action, but from psychological maneuvering and manipulation.
The protagonists are morally grey. And there's an ongoing question: "Who are they, really?".
The characters often wear masks and you're never quite sure what’s real.
Every conversation is a trap, every motive suspect, and every development forces you to question who’s really in control.

I am a big fan Takagi-san and reading this (Kyou kara Hajimeru Osananajimi?) honestly gives me nostalgia when I read Takagi-san. After finishing Takagi-san I read this manga and it instantly brought me back the feeling of reading Takagi-san. Both story talks about a two close middle school friends who seems to develop feelings for each other and does childhood activities like playing games, walking around the town, and always being together.

Kanan-sama wa Akumade Choroi
|
Blunt male lead confesses to a demon tsundere girl and she's embarrassingly accepts. The protagonist is really proactive, often invites the Female Lead to date and initiates in romance, which both of these series shares. The FL actively tries to "hide" and "deny" their love but the protagonist bluntness break through into the FL heart. The protagonist is rather goofy and kind but he can be cool and reliable in moments. The FL is "powerful" and is cold towards her peers but her reticence in dating causes her to be cute or embarrassed. Really similar manga if you like one you'd probably like the other one. There's kinda a harem but the protagonist is always set on the main girl.

Kaira

Two desolate worlds with sensational atmospheric art.
Heavy story telling through imagery rather than blocks of text.
Both amazing manga. Perhaps Kaira is more similar to some of Nihei's other works rather than Blame! specifically but it definitely had the same vibe. Pretty much any comment section for Kaira I've ever seen had someone comparing it to Blame!

Even if one is more of a classic fantasy and the other is more modern the main characters are similar. MCs are the overpowered, cunning and cheeky demons that once were humans and even though their objectives are good their methods could be rather questionable. To sum it up if You want similar MC You should also check the other one.

Both take place in a world where the demon lord has been defeated and we hear about the heroes through flashbacks and other people talking about them. Emotional stories that explore what it means to be "the prophesied hero" in a classic fantasy world. Who Killed the Hero definitely focuses on this a bit more, so if you liked that aspect in Frieren, definitely read this as it has an amazing emotional story with interesting characters and the story finishes in a single volume, other volumes that came out after are just side stories.

After the breakup, both MCs meet another girl they are interested in, but the blonde shows up again and ends up getting involved with them (and other girls), making them question what they really feel. The MC in Kuso Onna ni Sachi Are is not as "cringe" and asshole as the one in Kanokari.
